Goin' down to the delta Where I can have my fun Goin' down to the delta Where I can have my fun Where I can drink my white lightnin', gamble I can bring my baby home
Don't the delta look lonesome When that evening sun go down? Don't this delta look lonesome When that evenin' sun goes down Well, you been lookin' for your baby Don't know where she could be found
Goin' back to my use-to-be Although that she have done me wrong Goin' back to my use-to-be Although that she have done me wrong Well, I think I'll have to forgive her 'cause I'm tired o' driftin' through this world alone
She treats me dirty But I love her just the same Well, she treats me dirty But I love her just the same Well, it just breaks my heart to hear Lord, some other men call her name
Now goodbye, I'm gon' leave you An' I won't be back no more
Now goodbye, I'm gon' leave you An' I won't be back no mo' Man, my mind gets to ramblin' See you in nineteen and forty-fo'
